ActivCooling™ Helmets
Cooling the Heat: How ActivCooling™
Protected Workers at a Steel Plant in Gujarat
Industry
Steel Manufacturing
Location
Gujarat, India
Workforce Size
600+ Operators
Impact
38% drop in heat-related fatigue cases within 3 months
THE SITUATION
In Gujarat’s peak summer, plant operators faced heat levels above 45°C on the floor. Long shifts, minimal ventilation, and high exposure meant rising cases of fatigue, errors, and medical interventions. Productivity was sliding. More importantly, safety was at risk.
THE CHALLENGE
Traditional helmets offered zero thermal relief. Operators reported exhaustion within hours, forcing supervisors to rotate teams more frequently. Heat stress was leading to mistakes in judgment — a dangerous liability in a steel plant.
THE INTERVENTION
Jarsh deployed 150 ActivCooling™ helmets across critical plant zones. The solution offered dual runtime options (2hr/8hr) with no fluids or compressors, ensuring uninterrupted protection without maintenance overheads. Training sessions were conducted with operators for quick adoption.
QUOTE FROM THE FIELD
Exceptional 4.9 rating
“The helmets changed how our teams approached summer shifts. Operators no longer rushed tasks just to get out of the heat. Safety improved, and so did morale.”
